VISION

The Department of Physics will be committed to advancing its role by providing high-quality education to all students and maintaining excellence in research. We strive to provide an educational experience built on the best teaching practices and latest technologies, in an interactive and stimulating learning environment. This will enable the students with a scientific awareness of the world around them, ultimately equipping them with the skills necessary to master critical thinking and the scientific-method. These strengths help them not only become better professionals but also make informed and educated decisions in all aspects of their lives. Although we may come across challenges in getting the resources to implement many of the strategies, we are excited about our future: arrange invited lectures in modern trends in Physics, organize national/international seminars, interdisciplinary lectures & colloquia in human values and provide career guidance and counselling, arrange remedial coaching for the slow learners, conduct short-term courses to develop practical skills in wiring and repairing the household electrical/electronic appliances etc.
